About SIMTech
The Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) develops high-value manufacturing technology and human capital to enhance the competitiveness of Singapore’s manufacturing industry. It collaborates with various multinational and local companies in the precision engineering, medtech, aerospace, automotive, marine, oil & gas, electronics, semiconductor, logistics, and other sectors.
SIMTech is a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). For more information, please click here

Industry Assist
Building technology capabilities through individual company-funded projects, Collaborative Industry Projects (CIPs), consortiaand sharing of research facilities.
Knowledge Transfer
Filling skills or technology gaps via SkillsFuture training courses using Learn-Practise-Implement model, Annual Manufacturing Forum - SIMTech flagship conference-conference, lecture, seminar, workshop, customised short course and master class.
Technology Transfer
Sharing SIMTech-developed technology with industry through Technology Licensing, Open Innovation and Risk Sharing in commercialisation.
Manpower Sharing and Transfer
Providing access to R&D expertise via Technology for Enterprise Capability Upgrading (T-UP), Staff Attachment and Technical Advisors.
We are committed to serve the manufacturing industry to develop the industrial, intellectual and human capital. We achieve these by:

Model Factory
The Model Factory@SIMTech features an actual production environment that allows for experiential experimentation and learning of digitalisation technologies for Industry 4.0. Model Factory@SIMTech is part of the Manufacturing Control Tower™ (MCT™) program, which the focus will be on digitalisation technologies.
From a research viewpoint, the environment provides an ideal platform for the development of critical technologies such as Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) and flexible automation across the three layers in a manufacturing environment, namely Shopfloor, Enterprise and Supply Chain. This will provide the essential platform for understanding the Sense & Response manufacturing paradigm, and the means to prototype new technologies, as a continuous learning journey for MCT™.
From an industry viewpoint, it provides a platform for companies to learn, experiment and most importantly, co-create new technologies for the next-generation factories. The next-generation manufacturing technologies will require skill sets that are multi-disciplinary in nature and require continuous learning. The Model Factory@SIMTech will be able to provide these critical learning and practice opportunities through SIMTech’s proven Learn-Practise-Implement (LPI) model before actual implementation on-site.
Manufacturing Control Tower (MCT ™)
Manufacturing Control Tower (MCT™) strives to provide total visibility and smart on-the-go decision tools across all operations in a Sense and
Response manufacturing environment.
MCT™ solutions aims to have entire operations in your palm, with on-the-go smart tools made simple and modular. They are powered by our decision support engines, which are robust industry-tested algorithms paired with state-of-the-art capabilities enabled by research in manufacturing
system technologies.
MCT™ platform is an open-platform that enables a ubiquitous and complete digital thread across all levels of a business, from Shopfloor » Enterprise » Supply Chain.
